Speaker 1 (00:01):
Let's play a game with Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.
This is the 95th connections that Gandhi has given us.
These four pieces of sound have something in common. The
life of me can't figure it out.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
I will look for you. I will find you. and
I will kill you.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
I am not throwing away my shot. All I want
to do is have some fun. What the hell? They
have nothing in common.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
That's how they do.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
You're lying. I do, but not about this. Okay, we'll
figure it out. Let's go talk to Jenna on Line 16. Jenna,
good morning.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Hey, good morning.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Ben Shelton, yes or no? Hot or not?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Um.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Hot.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Sure. She has no idea. I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
I'm just trying to play the game.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Okay, you're right. Thank you. Thank you for putting me
back on track here. So those four pieces of sound
that Gandhi gave us have something in common, according to her.
What do you think.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
They are?

Speaker 1 (01:09):
What do they have in common?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
So I think each song or sound clip is talking
about something.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
That they're going to do or want to do.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
So taking action.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
So I'll be watching you.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
I will find you. I'm not going to lose my shot.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
I want to have fun.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Oh, interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
You know what? I don't think that's the answer. But
I love your process.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
That was very creative. I love that. But that's not
the answer. Oh, man. That jumped out to me right away.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
You're actually a little too smart for this, I think,
to be honest. I'm being serious. All right, Jenna. Thank
you so much. Have a great week, okay?

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Thanks. You too. Line two is Julie.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Julie.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Julie.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
We're all depending on you. What do those four pieces
of sound have in common? Well, I'm going to say
stalker slash obsession. Stalker slash obsession.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Nowhere near the answer. But, again, but you have to agree,
Julie's answer is well thought out, and it could have been,
but that's not the answer she's looking for. Oh, thank you, guys.
We have very, very smart people listening today. Yeah, these
are good. Thank you, Julie. Have a great day. Thanks
for listening to us.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Have a great day. You too. Line 13 is Jason
from Cleveland. Hello, Jason.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Hello. How are you doing this morning?

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Well, I'll be better. If you give me the answer
we're looking for, let me give these pieces of sound
to you one more time. These four pieces of sound
have something in common.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I will look for you. I will find you. And
I will kill you.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
I am not throwing away my shot. All I want
to do is have some fun. All right. What is
your answer? What do they have in common?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
All right.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
So I'm going to say before becoming.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
famous actors or singers they were school teachers before before
getting famous.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Huh good going okay give us give us a first
of all who are these people.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
All right so it was first it was sting then
liam neeson then lin-manuel miranda and then cheryl crowe So
Sting was a teacher for two years at St. Paul's
First School in Northumberland. He was also a soccer coach
before he became famous.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Just imagine. Really?

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
I never knew that.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Liam Neeson was at St. Mary's College before he got
fired for punching a 15-year-old who pulled a knife on him.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Oh, damn.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
He said teaching was hands down the most difficult job
he has ever done in his life. Lin-Manuel Miranda. Taught
seventh grade English at Hunter College High School in Manhattan,
which was also his alma mater. Then he switched to
substitute teaching so he could continue writing.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Wow. And it worked out for him.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
And Sheryl Crow was an elementary school music teacher in
Missouri before she moved to L.A. to try and pursue
her ambitions. Ended up as a backup singer for Michael Jackson.
And then she became famous as well.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Oh, my God. So crazy.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Wow. Look what we learned today. Congratulations, Jason. Good job, Jason.
You figured it out. Jason, we got to take care
of you. What do you have for our friend, Jason? Oh,
it's the full Elvis Duran apparel line. Thanks to Hackensack
Meridian Health. That's it? All right. That's all we got.
That's it. Congratulations. Yeah, that's all we got, Jason. But
you're going to love it. Wait till they arrive. You're
going to never take them off. But thanks for listening,
